They are anxious to exploit your want for immediate indulgence. However all this “kindness” from the credit companies comes with a price. You can almost always count on very high interest rates and minimum payments that hardly place a dent within the debt you owe.

There are approximately 30% of us who do not own a credit card. However, people who do, have almost four of them. Each of those credit cards have an average interest rate of 17%. Paying solely the minimum payment means that it would take years to pay every card off. Unfortunately, all of this debt is causing us a lot of unneeded stress and health related concerns.
Mental disorders, migraines, heart condition, high blood pressure, weight gain/loss, sleep disorder – are just a few of the by-products of debt related stress. For some, spending/shopping is an addiction, similar to alcohol, drugs or gambling, and it must be treated in much of the same ways.
